exceedingly difficult. ; V , . ..:

Alone and without provisions, Ar
thur Roher and Charles Guaraseil,
Portland boys, have been . lost on
Mount Hood for more than 24 hours.
Every effort of the experienced
mountaineers available has failed to
find trace of the boys, who aban
doned four - companions at Crater
Rock early Sunday and disappeared.
I P. ' Pridemore, ' proprietor of the
Government Camp hotel and host to all
mountain-climbers, came to Portland
Monday ; to recruit a i party of volun
teer searchers, convinced that the boys
have lost their directions' and will per
ish unless rescued.
Roher and Guaraseil went from Gov
ernment camp, to the timber line Satur
day night with four i companions, and
Sunday morning started the climb,
without a - guide, for the summit.
TWO TTJEK BACK
At Crater rock, more than half way
up the ' .mountain, the two quit the
climb, and as the others advanced are
thought to have started their descent
toward ' the camp at L the timber line.
Within a few hours at most the two
could have reached Government camp
and there would have been joined by
their -companions Sunday evening.
' The -other four young men. however,
returned to the hotel without theif
mates and had seen nothing of them
on the way down. "
There are only two possibilities, it is
pointed out. The first Is that the young
climbers have fallen j into one : of the
many crevasses that, mark the broad
snowflelds of the mountain, or that."
striking out for the camp at the tim
ber line,, they have become lost in the
forested gulliea at the base of the moun
tain, where there ae no trails and i no
means ' for the inexperienced to find
their, bearings. j -?:,. "

In the meantime .forest rangers are
scouring the mountains, and the ' forest
service lookout station at the summit of
the mountain is watching every trail. '
The boys have not been seen by any
one since they left their companions at
Crater Rock Sunday.) They have been
out, therefore, over Sunday night and
Monday. ' Pridemore kept a signal light
out all night, but it gained no response
